Expected page output and replacement cycles
High-volume document printing relies on predictable page output. Standard CART052 cartridges yield 3,100 pages, while high-yield CART052H cartridges yield 9,200 pages under standard 5% page coverage. Page yield ratings for these monochrome laser cartridges are measured following ISO/IEC 19752 testing standards.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CART052 | Standard | Black | 3,100 | $0.060 |
| CART052H | High Yield | Black | 9,200 | $0.035 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing between genuine and compatible CART052 cartridges
Choosing compatible CART052H cartridges offers substantial operational savings for budget-conscious office environments while maintaining clean text printing. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a CART052H high-yield cartridge if my printer previously used a standard CART052?
Yes, the CART052H cartridge shares the exact physical external dimensions as the standard CART052 and fits into the same compartment inside the imageCLASS MF429x; it simply holds more toner for extended output.
Does the Canon imageCLASS MF429x require a separate drum unit replacement when changing toner?
No, the CART052 and CART052H series feature an integrated drum design where the photosensitive drum unit is built directly into the toner cartridge housing, refreshing the imaging core every time toner is replaced.
How does printing high-density graphics impact the expected 9,200-page yield of the CART052H?
ISO/IEC 19752 yields assume standard 5% page coverage typical of regular text invoices and letters. Printing heavy black graphics or dense PDF documents consumes more toner per page, reducing overall page output accordingly.
